Vietnamese TV screens lit up this week as 'The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping' premiered in Vietnam 🇻🇳, coinciding with Chinese President Xi Jinping's two-day state visit. The multilingual series, produced by China Media Group (CMG), is part of cultural celebrations marking 75 years of diplomatic ties between the two nations. 🎉
🌟 Why It Matters: The program's launch aligns with a major media partnership between CMG and Vietnam Television (VTV), including content sharing and joint productions. 'This isn’t just TV—it’s a bridge between cultures,' said Nguyen Thanh Lam, VTV’s president, highlighting three decades of cross-border media collaboration.
🤝 Leaders Weigh In: Vietnamese PM Pham Minh Chinh called the timing a 'golden opportunity' to deepen people-to-people exchanges ahead of the 2025 Vietnam-China Cultural Year. Meanwhile, CMG’s Shen Haixiong emphasized building a 'community with a shared future,' echoing Xi’s vision of regional unity.
🎯 The Bigger Picture: Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam He Wei hopes the show will help Vietnamese audiences 'understand China’s modernization journey' by spotlighting Xi’s philosophies. Analysts say the project reinforces 'amity through culture,' a key theme in Xi’s diplomatic strategy.
